Hi Svante,

I don't understand a single word of your preceding paragraph, which
isn't surprising given my lack of knowledge of packaging systems. I
also know very little about OpenRC. So I have no opinion on the choice
you give in the preceding paragraph.

An opinion I *do* have is that for s6, runit and Epoch, the Devuan
package as much as possible mimic the idiomatic way that the program's
developer says to install it. I don't think that will be particularly
hard to do, and in another post I outlined how sysvinit, s6, runit and
Epoch can coexist simply by naming their PID1's sysvinit.pid1, s6.pid1,
runit.pid1 and epoch.pid1, and then switching inits is as simple as
copying one of those .pid1 files to /sbin/init.
